First trip, second stop: Dr. Evermor's Forevertron

Tom Every had a fabulous career in the demolition industry. He has saved bits and pieces along the way and created the Evermore Sculpture Park adjacent to a scrap yard just outside Baraboo, Wisconsin (wonderland of visionary environments). He has also created a pseudonym, complete with background story, of 'Dr.
Evermor.' The gentleman in the wheelchair is Tom Avery. Please learn more about this great place at http://heart2art2heart.com/pages/theforevertron.html

When the time is right, Dr. Evermor will leave this world in the Forevertron, a fabulously huge sculpture created from a variety of scrap, including items from an old NASA Apollo launch site.

Tom Every has collected thousands of items over the years. Here's Eric driving off to help the crippled children. He will be sure not to use a silly clown voice, in the tradition of the Shriner clowns.

This was my favorite area of the park. Tom Every came into a large lot of band instruments and created a fabulous orchestra. He said he's just as interested in the way the sculptures sound as much as they look.
